WESLEYAN TEAMS TO HOLD FOUR 'COMMUNITY' DEBATES
WESLEYAN ORCHESTRA
TO PERFORM IN PARIS
IN COMING SUMMER
Eleven Players With Professor Love-joy
To Spend Summer
Abroad
An orchestra composed of 11 Illinois
Wesleyan students, under the direction
of Prof. Arnold L. Lovejoy of the
school of music, will play this summer
on one of the French line boats to
Europe followed by a six weeks' en-gagement
in a Paris cafe or hotel and
a return engagement, according to an
announcement made Tuesday.
The orchestra, according to the con-tract
which has just been signed, will
sail from New York City June 14 on
the Rochambeau, arriving at Havre,
France, eight days later. After the six
weeks' engagement in Paris the mem-bers
of the orchestra will make a 10-
day tour of central Europe and sail
from Havre Aug. 18 on the DeGrasse
for New York.
During the trip to and from France,
the orchestra will play at regular hours
each day and during the last two days
will give a special vaudeville program
or revue. The afternoon concerts will
consist largely of popular and semi-classical
numbers, while most of the
evenings will be given to dance music
with special features. Private parties
are also arranged, for which the or-chestra
is engaged at extra fees. The
members will be assigned. fiirst class
quarters on the ship and have all of
the privileges of first class passengers.
Six-Week Engagement
The orchestra expects to book the
six-week engagement in Paris through
the American Express company, of
which the independent tour department
has many calls for foreign orchestras
and has been instructed to book the
Wesleyan group on one of these. This
will enable the boys to see the many
attractions which Paris has to offer
and still leave 10 days to visit other
interesting cities of the mid-continent
before the return sailing date.
With such an abundance of material
developed in the Wesleyan college of
music, Professor Lovejoy announced
that the task of choosing the 11 men
is not easy. In addition to being an
artist on his instrument, the student
to be eligible must be passing in all of
his school work and have the consent
of his parents to make the trip.
Those announced by Professor Love-joy
as the tentative personnel of the
orchestra are: LeRoy Daniels, Gil-man,
piano; John Noonan, Blooming-ton,
drums and xylophone; Nathan
Rosenbluth, Bloomington, violin; Da-

DR. ERNEST E. LEISEY
BROADCASTS AT DALLAS
Dr. Ernest E. Leisy of the English
department of the Southern Meth-odist
university at Dallas, Texas, writes
to friends in Bloomington of the op-portunity
which has come to him to
broadcast over station KRLD of Dal-las
at the Adolphus hotel.
He will give a series of lectures on
American writers, beginning with
Longfellow and coming on down. His
first broadcasting will be next Thurs-day
evening, Feb. 9, when he will be-gin
at 7 o'clock, central time, and will
speak for 20 minutes. This time on
Thursdays will be his regular hour.
Dr. and Mrs. Leisy were former
Bloomington residents, when Dr.
Leisy was at the head of the English
department of Illinois Wesleyan uni-versity.
Dr. Leisy speaks of the visit
of John McCormack to Dallas on Mon-day
afternoon of this week, while Dud-ley
Crafts Watson spent last week in
Dallas and addressed many clubs.
A GOOD DEFINITION
OF SCHOLARSHIP
If there is any fair standard to
judge a scholar by, it is his
scholarship-his capacity for
taking pains in assembling his
data, his resourcefulness in un-earthing
new facts, his desire to
verify every statement, his pas-sion
for truth.--George Horace
Lorimer, Editor, Saturday Eve-ning

Salary For Students
High in Scholarship
Urged by Advertiser
Minneapolis, Feb. 4.--Payment of
salaries to the university students as
a reward for scholastic merit has been
advocated by Knox Reeves, member of
a St. Paul advertising concern. This
plan of awarding scholarships would
be similar to the government style of
selecting candidates for the United
States Naval academy and West Point.
The University scholarships, given to
freshmen of comparatively high rank-ing,
are somewhat like the plan ad-
NEW POINT SYSTEM
FINALLY COMPLETED
NEW SET OF RULES PUBLISHED
GOVERNING STUDENT
ACTIVITIES
The Point System has been revised
completely by the Student Council to
meet the present needs of the school. A
partial list of changes was given in The
Argus a few weeks ago. This week
each student has been given a copy of
the system as it stands. Enforcement be-gins
with the present semester.
Rules and Regulations
1. Purpose: By restricting the num-ber
of college activities in which one
person may take part, the point system
aims at three things:
(a) To distribute or apportion among
the many students these honor privileges,
and responsibilities which tend to be
monopolized by a few; anid thereby give
the valuable training, organization and
executive experience to a greater num-ber
of students.
(b) To benefit the organizations by
assuring them more individual attention
and consequently more efficient perform-ance
of the several duties.

WESLEYAN TEAMS TO HOLD FOUR 'COMMUNITY' DEBATES
WESLEYAN ORCHESTRA
TO PERFORM IN PARIS
IN COMING SUMMER
Eleven Players With Professor Love-joy
To Spend Summer
Abroad
An orchestra composed of 11 Illinois
Wesleyan students, under the direction
of Prof. Arnold L. Lovejoy of the
school of music, will play this summer
on one of the French line boats to
Europe followed by a six weeks' en-gagement
in a Paris cafe or hotel and
a return engagement, according to an
announcement made Tuesday.
The orchestra, according to the con-tract
which has just been signed, will
sail from New York City June 14 on
the Rochambeau, arriving at Havre,
France, eight days later. After the six
weeks' engagement in Paris the mem-bers
of the orchestra will make a 10-
day tour of central Europe and sail
from Havre Aug. 18 on the DeGrasse
for New York.
During the trip to and from France,
the orchestra will play at regular hours
each day and during the last two days
will give a special vaudeville program
or revue. The afternoon concerts will
consist largely of popular and semi-classical
numbers, while most of the
evenings will be given to dance music
with special features. Private parties
are also arranged, for which the or-chestra
is engaged at extra fees. The
members will be assigned. fiirst class
quarters on the ship and have all of
the privileges of first class passengers.
Six-Week Engagement
The orchestra expects to book the
six-week engagement in Paris through
the American Express company, of
which the independent tour department
has many calls for foreign orchestras
and has been instructed to book the
Wesleyan group on one of these. This
will enable the boys to see the many
attractions which Paris has to offer
and still leave 10 days to visit other
interesting cities of the mid-continent
before the return sailing date.
With such an abundance of material
developed in the Wesleyan college of
music, Professor Lovejoy announced
that the task of choosing the 11 men
is not easy. In addition to being an
artist on his instrument, the student
to be eligible must be passing in all of
his school work and have the consent
of his parents to make the trip.
